    AH can handle himself. Since he is the leader of the counter-revolutionary PROT, I wouldn't save him anyway. SPLITTER!

              one doesnt have to offer a right course of action. But one should at least be moderately consistent in ones criticisms - saying that too few troops is the cause of so many casualties, and that if there were 5 times as many troops thered be five times as many casualties, is not consistent.

                  • Unless you can find me a quote form anyone that the reason we have fewer troops in Iraq is because that will keep casualties down, it is your OPINION that that is what they are doing.

                    Your opinion is they are keeping troop strength low to avoid casualties. Now if you think that is retarded, then say so, but you didn't, you simply stated the above.

                    Separately, the opinion I clearly expressed on casualties was they would be directly proportional to the number of troops
                    Similarly a flawed arguement, but back it up if you dare. But examined the very point of your proportional arguement is that less troops leads to less casualties.

                      You know it's bad when you have to say "in a manner of speaking" after every opinion.

                      You don't believe the part about all those millions of children dying from the sanctions?

                        and I didn't support sanctions either

                          I believe that what AH was saying is that the Administration believed that having more troops in Iraq would lead to more casualties on our part, which is why they did not send enough troops to do the job quickly and efficiently. That may have been a factor, but I don't think it was the primary one.

                          Many moderate and liberals (and even a few conservatives like McCain) criticize the Pres by saying that if they had sent more troops, the casualty levels would have been lower, since they would have been able to assert more control over Iraq.

                          This may be true. It may not be. We'll never know, since the damage has been done.

                          In any event, it's not unsual for people on the same side to hold different beliefs. Many anti-war activists still think the war was about oil. I don't, though I think oil factors into it in several ways. That we disagree doesn't mean that the whole left, therefore, doesn't know what it's talking about, as Patroklos was insinuating.

                              Did you support the Gulf War?

                              You're a "call station," AH.

                              • yes I did support Gulf war I

                                Although I think Kuwait should be part of Iraq, the Brits only carved it out to keep the oil, saddam went about it all wrong
